Mattel to wind down its Hot Wheels Virtual Garage NFTs

Toymaking giant Mattel is putting the brakes on its Hot Wheels Virtual Garage non-fungible tokens, pending a decision on the collection’s future. There will be no future releases of any new NFT series or feature drops for the “foreseeable future,” Mattel said in an update on its website. The company said it will decide on the “long-term future” of Mattel digital collectibles. “Your unwavering support and enthusiasm for the Hot Wheels Virtual Garage has been legendary, and we’re incredibly grateful to have been on this journey with you,” the company said. “As we evaluate the changing world of virtual collectibles, we’ve determined the time has come to end our Series and Feature Drops in 2025 and onward.” There are no plans for any new NFT series or feature drops for Mattel's Hot Wheels Virtual Garage.

Holders can still buy, sell and trade their Hot Wheels NFTS on the Mattel Digital Collectibles Marketplace , while existing and outstanding redemptions will be “fulfilled as promised.” However, there is no option to transfer the NFTs to other wallets or marketplaces at the moment. Mattel says it’s exploring possible options around this feature. “We are developing a long-term plan for Virtual Collectibles and will share updates with the community in the future,” the company said.
